My DH spent $420 Saturday at IGA, filled up ice cream, and nibbles, cheeses, salamis, and what ever DS could put in the trolly.

$226 this week, less a $5 off my order.  So pretty steep, but when I looked at it, $90 of that was non-food  :o
DH wanted new shampoo and body wash, plus I picked up some specials on toilet paper, dishwasher tablets, washing liquid, toothbrush heads etc etc. 
So I'm actually pretty happy with my food spend this week, and hoping to not need toiletries etc for a while now. 

INAID, I just saw your question about mortgage payments - we use a revolving credit facility.  We do still have a portion of our borrowing in a fixed loan, and we pay that fortnightly.
This has been a great way for us to pay off our mortgage faster - good as long as you are sensible (you can re-borrow up to the limit at any time) and still live within your income so any extra $$$ is automatically credited to the loan.

Less than $30 this week. Eating down everything. DH's away a couple of days. Me not eating or drinking except tea and chilli soup. Bought a new dress with savings!!  So all up spent more than I normally would. Oh there was a necklace in there too.  LOL!

Well done Gert, way to go.

I had a $0 last week but so far this week I'm way over budget.  The price you pay when you are trying to eat healthier  :-))

$113, included $40 of non food items.  Pretty happy. Cleaned out pantry , found lots of forgotten items.  If I can only stay away from Supermarket I will be on a winner.
Astarra,  that is very good planning, Jo, well done.

We were about $180 this week which isn't bad for us, especially as DH helped.  :D :D

$130, well over but got sucked in by specials.  Also a couple of packets of Tim Tam jumped into trolley,  helped by DH. ,!  Bought 8 Turkey wings for $3 and kilo of chicken legs for $3.   All adds up.
